Tobias Buckell put together the likely Puppy-free ballot here.
Novels:
The most interesting thing to me here is the presence of The Martian on the longlist. I *seriously* thought this wasn't eligible. Also interesting: the total absence of The Magician's Land. Really, Hugo nominators? I mean, I didn't nom it, but it was a pretty major release for the year, and really excellent if you can read with slightly less feminist eyes than I could.
Novellas:
I'm sad that I didn't get that Nancy Kress novella in the packet; I suppose I could see if the library has it, or ::gasp:: actually buy it. I thought Swirsky's "Grand Jete" was pretty great, pleased to see it in the contenders.
Novelette:
I came very close to nominating "Litany of Earth", although in the end I did not, but I would have very happily voted for it.
Short Stories:
Man, look at that ballot. I guess Ursula Vernon got a Nebula at least.
Graphic:
Sex Criminals got onto the ballot with 60 noms, Nimona was 11th with 28. This is a category where your nomination makes a difference!
Dramatic Short:
Conventional wisdom is that there's more overlap between Puppies and others in the Dramatic categories - I myself voted for the Flash pilot even though it had been on the slate. So it's a little hard to say what a Puppy-free ballot in this category might have looked like. *However*, we know the top three got Puppy nominations, and "Legend of Korra: the Last Stand" came in 8th. Was there a chance? Maybe, maybe not, I'm pleased it came so close.
Pro Artist:
Galen Dara would have made the ballot without the Puppies, sigh.
Fan Artist:
Elizabeth Leggett squeaked onto the ballot with 23 nominations and ran away with the category, somewhat similar to Sarah Webb last year iIrc. Two of my nominees each got 16 nominations. Another category where your nomination has a lot of power.
